How to Illustrate IT Firewall and Network Security Threats in PowerPoint
Information Technology is one of the areas full of complex processes and devices. Good old visualization comes for help also here :). See an example illustrating IT network security and how the firewall works.
Explaining IT systems can be not an easy task sometimes. Despite I have a background in computer science I am often lost myself when facing all those new technologies and architectures. When I discuss various IT concepts, I usually do a drawing of simple diagram sketches in my notebook. It really helps.
Moving it into PowerPoint form is also easy. And to make it look good, you can add various icons of IT devices to the illustrations, to create better mental associations and make it look professional. Furthermore, having your IT scheme made of vector shapes makes it easier to modify, add elements, change their position, update process flows or adapt colors of the diagram content.
You can get all presented slides from IT Icons Diagrams collection.
We prepared a few examples of presenting a network architecture of an office network and interaction with outside computers and applications.
Illustrate Network Security Schema with Flat Icons
Here’s an example of an emerging network security threat such as a direct attack or hidden malware from the Internet. Those are handled by the firewall system.
Use Vivid Colors for Creating Visually Engaging Slide
Network security illustration includes one more threat – the case of bringing an unprotected computer into the office network. This is not handled by a firewall and can cause a security issue. Having such slide, you can add gradually new elements, recolor them to explain changes and importance of elements.
Illustration in PowerPoint or other your presentation software, helps you easily show changes of links, add or remove computers, highlight elements (dangerous – as red or orange, secure – as green).
